Lavender road Pumphouse Educational MuseumLavender Pond and Nature Park Lavender Road Rotherhithe.This museum houses a private collection of artefacts from the Thames foreshore in Rotherhithe. The Pumphouse Educational Museum incorporates The Rotherhithe Heritage Museum and the Lavender Pond & Nature Park, and is a unique resource in the Surrey Commercial Docks area of Rotherhithe. The Pump house was built in 1929 to regulate the water level in the Dock System. When the Surrey Docks closed in 1970, 350 acres became derelict and 270 years of tradition came to an end. The building was refurbished in 1989 and the Heritage Museum opened in 1991.
